> Returns true if a value has the characteristics of a valid JavaScript descriptor. Works for data descriptors and accessor descriptors.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
$ npm install --save is-descriptor
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var isDescriptor = require('is-descriptor');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: 'foo'})
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: function(){}, set: function(){}})
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: function(){}})
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You may also check for a descriptor by passing an object as the first argument and property name (`string`) as the second argument.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var obj = {};
 | 
						|
obj.foo = 'abc';
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Object.defineProperty(obj, 'bar', {
 | 
						|
  value: 'xyz'
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
isDescriptor(obj, 'foo');
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
isDescriptor(obj, 'bar');
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### value type
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when not an object
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDescriptor('a');
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor(null);
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor([]);
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### data descriptor
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`true` when the object has valid properties with valid values.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: 'foo'});
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: noop});
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when the object has invalid properties
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', get: noop});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop, value: noop});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when a value is not the correct type
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', enumerable: 'foo'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', configurable: 'foo'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', writable: 'foo'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### accessor descriptor
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`true` when the object has valid properties with valid values.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop});
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop});
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({set: noop});
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when the object has invalid properties
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop, bar: 'baz'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop, writable: true});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop, value: true});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when an accessor is not a function
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop, set: 'baz'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: noop});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: 'foo', bar: 'baz'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: 'baz'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when a value is not the correct type
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop, enumerable: 'foo'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({set: noop, configurable: 'foo'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDescriptor({get: noop, configurable: 'foo'});
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
